They also frequently gang up on and lynch unpopular minorities or individuals.
As has "law enforcement" for decades if not more.
You fail to note that in those communities there is still a monopoly on force and the minorities had no communities to draw from nor weapons to defend themselves with.
The police do not prevent such crimes, they respond to them after the fact. If you feel in danger then you are still taking your life into your hands whether or not you feel protected by the police. And if its a member of the police assaulting you for whatever reason, you have even less recourse to any kind of redress, if you are even taken seriously for reporting it.
Obviously we shouldn't join communities where the majority are racist bigots, however. They don't deserve out population.
The point you still fail to grasp is that is what the state is--a "community" with a monopoly force "lynching" its opponents domestically and abroad. They gang upon them.
So your argument is really one against the state if I am reading it correctly. Because a power structure like that is incompatible with my "anarchic vision".
